 Love this stuff June 7, 2010

I wish that I could get this in the store, but alas, it isn't available anywhere but online. Received in a timely manner.
 Not good for sensitive skin February 27, 2010

I really wanted to like this product. Im still in search of that perfect skin lotion for my face. Im 36 years old and have very dry skin and very sensitive. I tried this product the first day I bought it. I felt a tingle as I applied. I didn't get a rash so I thought everything was ok. Even put on my make up on top. My face looked flawless...the first day. By the third try I had given up on the product. Not only did the tingly feeling turn to my face feeling on fire, but I developed rash patches on both sides of my face. When I tried to apply my makeup after applying the lotion, it wouldn't smooth on like the first time. It kept crumbling and flaking off in some parts of my face. I guess I will continue my search for my dream face lotion. This product is horrible.
 Like Aveeno, but better age-defying products available August 19, 2009

I use Aveeno lotion as my everyday regular moisturizer. For whatever reason it is the only cream my face accepts without causing pimples or flakes. At age 29 I've decided it's time to start an anti-aging regimine and it made sense to me to start with what Aveeno offers. I have this product and I have several Olay products (for eye, thermal peel, and the tinted concealer) and this by Aveeno seems to be performing the least. I've noticed it can dry out my skin, and I've yet to see a change in my skin from this lotion.
That said, I've not tried Olay's anti-aging lotions, but I can say their Thermal Mini-Peel and under eye products are working enough for me to keep buying!
Seems good! February 10, 2009

I've used it in combination with the Aveeno night cream, and there are definite results with the two products together. Certainly excellent moisturisation but skin quality does SEEM to be better too. So I'm going to continue using them both!
Mmmm.. delicious Polyacrylamide. July 7, 2008

If you're really after natural skincare, you should be tossing your Aveeno in the rubbish bin. Aveeno's extremely successful marketing of its products as "natural" is just that - _marketing_. The primary ingredients in, for example, the Positively Ageless Lifting & Firming Night Cream are, after water and glycerin:
Dimethicone, Tetrahydroxypropyl Ethylenediamine, Cetyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Cyclohexasiloxane, and Polyacrylamide.
Most of these are decidedly _not_ natural; they are synthetic chemicals, several of them not especially good for living things. Dimethicone is a silicone based polymer: yes, silicone, just like the caulk. Silicone is _generally_ of low reactivity, but, as the unfortunate debacle with leaking silicone breast implants demonstrated, may not be all kittens and cupcakes when introduced directly into the bloodstream.
Equally worrisome is Polyacrylamide. This polymer downcycles to acrylamide, a troublesome little molecule that is, among other things, a nerve toxin and carcinogen. What's worse, "residual" unpolymerized acrylamide is always present in varying amounts in Polyacrylamide.
As a chemist, I'm consistently surprised at what I see on ingredient lists. But remember, __the FDA performs almost no oversight on cosmetics__, so in truth, it's all rather a gamble. Noticed that whole "zero trans fat" trend in food products? It's been known for _over 20 years_ that hydrogenated oils are profoundly damaging to the human body; junk food lobbyists kept the FDA from acting for over two decades. Think someone's "minding the store"? Think that since something is on the shelf, it must therefore be safe? Think again.
That said, are chemical-laden face creams going to cause you to dramatically keel over dead in front of your mirror? Well no. But here's a word you can drop at your next cocktail party: Bioaccumulation. You're big sponges, darlings. While most of the millions of substances (natural and synthetic) that we take on board (ingest, inhale, absorb through skin, etc) every day are processed out, many of them accumulate in the body. And of those, there are some which will, inevitably, cause trouble. And when "trouble" in biological terms means "cancer" or "Parkinson's", etc., perhaps it would, after all, be best to err on the side of caution:
Shop organic when possible;
Avoid plastics and other off-gassers in the home as much as is practical;
and, when it comes to lotions and the like:
If you wouldn't _eat it_, don't put it on your skin.
